REDMG:1951.134.1 Black interior and handle; beneath each handle a palmette, flanked by tendrils; on each side a wave band, to right, above a woman's head, profile to left, surrounded by tendrils. Banded decoration below is comprised of a reserved band just below the figural scene, a pair of red bands above the foot, a red band on the upper surface of the foot, and reserved area at the centre of the underside. The common use of red stain to effect a red (ruddled) surface on reserved areas is highlighted in this example by the almost complete loss of black glaze towards the foot, where the ruddled intervening bands strongly contrast with the buff/reserved (formerly black glazed) areas.
REDMG:1951.136.1 Upper surface of knob decorated with reserved (and reddened) band, black band on inset, cog-wheel on inset circle; lower part of knob and stem black except for a reserved (and reddened) band at the upper part of stem, and a reserved band where the stem meets the lid. The lid is decorated with two female heads, profile to left, between two palmettes. The females each wear a spiked stephane and a kekryphylon, earrings, and beaded necklace; cluster of three white dots in the field in front of each. Enclosed palmettes highlighted with white arcs at centre and white dots on either side of top leaf. Black wave around lip. Added colour (yellow on white) for details of jewelry. The underside is reserved.
